Plant Auditing

In a competitive market, downtime is not an option. For peace of mind, cost-effectiveness and the ability to perform to the expectations of your customers, you need to be sure that your plant is fully reliable. A check-up can help.

It’s worth to compare

Before an existing plant for the production of AAC is dealt with, we recommend a check-up by SKM’s experienced engineers. It compares your plant with similar systems and offers options for improvement.

With the AAC benchmark one get’s a detailed assessment of the state of one’s system compared to similar systems. This offers a substantial insight on the current situation of your work and its competitiveness compared to similar factories. The data for the comparative analysis have emerged in decades of international engineering work and are a solid basis for further steps to optimize your system.

AAC Benchmark

With the AAC Benchmark our customers receive a detailed comparison of their AAC production line with other mills. Anonymous benchmarks lead to call for actions. The AAC BENCHMARK looks into the areas of water and energy consumption, the reject amount for each point of origin, labor requirements as well as cycle times. The data basis in use has been established during decades of international engineering work of our AAC expert team. The AAC BENCHMARK concludes categorized actions and their expected outcomes.

Energy Audit

In depth analysis of production line efficiency with focus on thermal and electrical energy consumption. Detailed consumption study includes also analysis of air and water consumption. The profound and critical view from outside on internal processes often reveals potentials leading to shortest payback of this audit. The ENERGY AUDIT Report concludes categorized actions and their expected outcomes.

General Technical Audit

Comprehensive audit of production line with focus on general technical issues such as quality improvements, production cost and time analysis, productivity enhancements, down time analysis, bottleneck analysis, process evaluation as well as water and energy consumption. The General Technical Audit Report concludes categorized actions and their expected outcomes.

Process and Quality Audit

In depth analysis of production line with focus on raw materials and quality of finished products. Typical tasks on raw material side are the evaluation of the recipes’ in use and the establishment of potential cost saving and quality improving effects through recipe modifications. Our simulation software supports the predictive analysis. Semi-finished products and products are evaluated for common product faults and their potential causes. The Process and Quality Audit Report concludes categorized actions and their expected outcomes.
